In a quiet, rain-soaked city street, an aging, yellow Volkswagen van sits defiantly against time. Rust runs across its panels, its paint dulled, soiled and scarred, yet the vehicle remains loyal to its owner. Tucked beside vintage 19th century buildings, the van is a relic of mobility, now immobile — a stubborn monument to enjoyable journeys past. Though weathered into obsolescence, the van’s presence persists—a broader symbol representing what we choose to keep versus cast away. For many, vehicles are more than tools for transport; they become repositories of identity, and personal history. Emotional attachment is a powerful force that resists change, complicating transitions to more modern equipment in the energy world.
